WHAT IS CARBON-FREE CAMPUS?
Carbon-Free Campus, CC is dedicated to helping schools fight climate change by reducing their carbon footprint. CC helps schools make a difference for the environment and our own health.
WHY?
- Climate change is real – just look around: fires, heatwaves, storms, rising seas
- We have depended on coal, oil and gas and their production harms our environment and our health from added greenhouse gases and from the air, water and soil pollution
- Nature can no longer absorb all the CO2 that we are producing.
- Deforestation to feed livestock, plastics, and our waste worsens climate change and pollutes our world
- With existing solutions we can now change from an extractive, exploitative world to a regenerative pollution-free renewable powered world in harmony with nature
Therefore, we need to fight climate change and reduce our CO2 emissions.
HOW?
- Enabling schools and communities to make a meaningful environmental impact
- Inspiring students to adopt sustainable values within their own lives
- Empowering them through the art of negotiation and self-guided research.
THE CARBON-FREE CAMPUS PROGRAMME WILL:
- Empower me and others to make change
- Help me organise teams to create a movement
- Teach me negotiation techniques and the power of persuasion
- Ask me to investigate school's climate footprint and how to do better
- Lead me to create community awareness of the global warming issue
- Inspire behavioural changes at my school, home and community
THE CARBON-FREE CAMPUS PROGRAMME WILL:
- Encourage discussion at home on how and why to reduce reliance on plastics
- Provide my children to develop key life skills; teamwork, organisation, communication, negotiation and project management
- Allow parents to follow progress as observers - request a link from the school faculty advisor
